We're a team of independent thinkers who put quality, inclusion and integrity first. All around the world we bring a different experience to our clients.

NEW GROUND WON’T BREAK ITSELF.
In recent years, there has been a domestic and global trend of governments shifting emphasis from direct to indirect taxation. Globally, while corporation tax rates have generally decreased, VAT rates have risen.
What's more, businesses now face complex VAT systems, case law, guidance and legislation. Companies need to comply with thorny VAT rules when entering new markets, stretching out globally or joining international supply chains. Meanwhile, liabilities, errors and assessments can also attract interest and penalties.
Our clients vary in size and structure and range from FTSE 100 global groups to fast growing entrepreneurial owner managed businesses. We also work with clients across most sectors including consumer businesses, pharmaceutical, health care, financial services, insurance, not-for-profit, education, land and property.
